Happens every semester. There's no
way around taking final exams, and
while students are cramming for the
year-end tests, Nebraska's men and
women basketball players find them
selves in a unique situation.
The players must work their studying
around practicing or they must work
their practicing around studying. Either
way, players on each team will be
altering their schedules with games
coming up during final's week.
The women played a game Wednes
day, two days before finals started,
and will play another game Dec. 22, a
day after finals have ended.
"I don't know what I'm going to do
about studying," freshman center Heidi
Keyes said. "Ill have to cram between
games because my two hardest finals
are on the 21st."
Keyes, a criminal justice major, said
she has three finals, and has found it
difficult studying for her tests.
"Our practice time fluctuates, plus
we had two games this week and it has
been hard to study" Keyes added. "I
come home after practice, tired, and
don't want to study."
The study table, a requirement for
first-year athletes, has helped Keyes
with her studying, she said. Three days
a week for two hours the athletes are
required to attend the tables. A native
of Nederland, Colo., Keyes said she
didn't study in high school at all and
admitted her study habits are bad.
"The study table helps," she said. "It
forces you to study and there are
tutors down there."
Junior guard Crystal Coleman, a
special education major, has two finals,
one Friday and the other Wednesday,
and she said she plans on studying a
week ahead of taking those finals.
"It's hard to study and practice, it
confuses you," Coleman said.
She has set up a schedule and knows
when it's time to study and when it's
time to rest. When she was a freshman
she said it was very hard to adjust to
school because basketball was taking
up most of her time. But now she is
more responsible, she said.
"An education is more important to
me now than basketball," Coleman
said. "When I first camehere I only
came here to play basketball, but they
are giving me a free education and I'm
going to take advantage of.it."
The men have two games during
finals week, one Saturday and an away
game Tuesday. Redshirt sophomore
John Matzke and junior Curtis Moore
both requested to have their finals
changed because of the dates.
The men have a slight advantage
with having Sunday and Monday off
last Saturday's game, and are without
a game during dead week.
"It's mainly to help us to start study
ing, plus we won't be playing for a
while; it's a little present," Matzke said,
referring to the days off.
Matzke has three finals and one
term paper, but other than moving the
test dates he said his studying has
worked out well.
"Last week was our busiest with the
away game, but I didn't have much to
do," Matzke, a general agriculture major,
said.
In comparing this year to his two
previous years at UNL, Matzke said he
has become more disciplined in organ
izing his time.
Moore said he foresees no problems
with the five finals he has.
"It's easy, I study when I don't have
practice, and go to the study tables on
Tuesday and Thursday," Moore said.
The only problems Moore said he
finds are that the classes here are a
little harder than in the junior college
he attended at Independence, Kan.
